As for Wang Zheng, they couldn’t provide more help. After all, one had to depend on himself. No matter if he was an opponent or comrade, Wang Zheng would be a good choice. The people from the Moon hoped that he would be able to return safely.
As for the main competitor of Achilles, Lear, he had been summoned back to the Chronos Family suddenly.
Lear had originally wanted to reject it. He was on a roll lately and did not want to destroy his image that he had worked hard to build by having preferential treatment.
However, the summon from the family was of the highest level.
When he saw Drupe, Lear wasn’t looking very pleased. “It better be an urgent matter!”
Drupe smiled gently and said,” Young master, Master and the distinguished guest have been waiting for you for a long time.”
Lear nodded his head. He knew that Drupe had been following the chief of the family and had seen a lot. There were only a few people who could be considered as a distinguished guest.
Lear ran straight to the meeting room but realise that the huge castle was empty. Who was such a big shot that it was necessary to make sure that all the servants weren’t around?
There were only 2 people in the meeting room. One of them was the Elder Chronos while the other… was a person that was totally covered with a white robe.
“Chief.” greeted Lear as he bowed. He wouldn’t be rude in front of outsider.
The Old Chronos took a look at the white robe man and did not have the intention of introducing Lear.
The white robe man had his head down and one could only see his chin. However, Lear could feel as though he had been stripped naked by just his gaze.
If this wasn’t his home, he would have taken action. However, his gaze had turned bitingly cold.
“How is it?” There was a shred of excitement and a nervousness in the voice of the Old Chronos.
The white robe man nodded his head slowly and replied, “Yes. It’s okay.”
As he spoke, he had walked towards Lear and extended his hands to grab Lear’s elbow. How would Lear allowed himself to be captured? However, just when he was preparing to resist, he realised that his wrist had been caught. A huge pressurizing force swept across from just in front of him, making it hard for Lear to catch his breath.
Both parties activated their Skylink,… and were downloading a new program.
Throughout the whole process, the Old Chronos was clenching his fist nervously.
When Lear was finally able to catch his breath under the pressure, the white robe man had disappeared.
“Grandpa, who was that guy?”
The Old Chronos smiled gently and said, “Lear, your opportunity has arrived. You have to grab hold of the opportunity. This was an opportunity to change the fate of humankind and not everyone would have this opportunity!”
The Old Chronos pointed at Lear’s Skylink firmly. Lear was speechless. Do you have to be so exaggerated? What could a single program do…
When he was back in his bunk, Barry fell and lay down. The truth was that only Wang Zheng and he would stay in this place. The others had their own accommodation on Tita Star and most of them had no intention of returning home. When they had spent too much time in a place, their memories and lives would also be in that place. There would be no meaning in returning.
Wang Zheng sat on the head of his bead and looked at Otaku Barry. “I could see that you were really into designing mecha. Why would you give up this opportunity?”
Barry knew about the situation on Tita Star clearly and had the talents. However, when he was offered a real opportunity, he suddenly flinched.
Barry forced a smile. Looking at Wang Zheng’s sincere face, he sighed helplessly and said,” When I was still in Astina, I had some fame too. I was also considered by many as a genius. I had always been working hard to build a mech that would maximise the wild flames of Astina. However… I had underestimated the reaction between the flames and G material. As a result, an explosion happened during an experiment… My friend… Even today, I still wish that the one who died was me…”
Barry did not continue. At that time, he had also suffered grave injuries. However, his good friend and research partner had died during the experiment incident. Since then, his enthusiasm had come to a freezing halt. No matter where he went, he could see the blame in the eyes of others. He was close to the brink of a total meltdown. In the end, he had chosen to come to a wild Star where no one would willingly come.
At this place, Barry was able to gradually “live on”. He was even able to do some small research His love for mecha was almost innate. As long as he lived on, it wouldn’t stop.
Wang Zheng patted Barry’s shoulders. “You might have thought of this and perhaps your friends had the same thoughts. He had given you the opportunity to continue living but would never have wanted you to be dispirited. Do not forget that you were an IG pro. Even the Yama Kings would have a tough time bringing you down!”
Barry’s heart shivered. If Robbo was still alive, would he be the same as him?
They had a frantic enthusiasm for mecha and this was the meaning of their lives. The one living should have inherited the portion of the dead instead of living each day like the walking dead. If that was the case, they would both be truly dead.
“Wang Zheng, I’m sorry for rejecting you. I would like to join in!” Barry stood up suddenly. As a result, his head knocked onto the bed plate. Instantly, a huge bump emerged and he was screaming in pain.
“Don’t be too excited so soon. Whether you can join would depend on if you could pass Zisu’s assessment. If you do not had the skills, she wouldn’t want you.” Laughed Wang Zheng.
“That should be the case.” Barry scratched his head but was still exhilarated. “The truth was that I had been spending all my spare time in designing a specialised mech for the Tita Star. I had always believe that based on the different situations of a Star, I could design a dominating level mech. For example, Astina was full of the power of the flames. The flame I was talking about wasn’t the flame in the physical world but a form of energy!”
Barry was afraid that Wang Zheng did not understand or would say that he was crazy.
Wang Zheng nodded his head. “This was also the reason why I felt that you could help. The situation on Tita Star should be similar to Astina, with the only difference being the elemental type.
Barry clapped his hands. “Absolutely right! If we could complete the design, we could break the current stalemate!”
On the second day, Barry had cleaned himself and was taking the assessment of Ye Zisu seriously. Although Ye Zisu was younger than him, she could be considered his senior in the mecha design world.
After two hours, Ye Zisu walked out. Wang Zheng smiled and asked,” How was it?”
“Where did you find such a genius? He would definitely be useful. I still couldn’t understand about the power of the “Wind” that you told me. This would affect the design of the mech but he could understand it.” replied Ye Zisu. “He had an Ability X that was of the perception-type. Although the level wasn’t very high and would be barely enough if used in battle, it would be more than enough if used on designing. I have a little more confidence in your ideas.”
“Was that the case? Why did I feel that you were brimming with confidence? What kind of things would be too difficult for our genius designer?” laughed Wang Zheng.
“Stop trying to flatter me! If that was the case, I should be officially starting soon. The rental contract for the experiment lab has been settled.” said Ye Zisu. Having just the Wind God was not enough. If she could come out with another sensational mech, OMG would be able to achieve another leap.
“Experimental lab? So fast?” Wang Zheng was a little stunned.
Ye Zisu rolled her eyes and said,” Our dear boss just had to say a word and the little girl had to make preparations in advance. If there wasn’t a place to conduct the experiment or the tools and manpower for it, how could we achieve anything?”
“Didn’t we have you around?” said Wang Zheng naturally. Ye Zisu smiled knowingly when she heard what Wang Zheng said.
“If that was the case, I shall be starting today. This person would be expropriated by me. The rest would have to be settled by you.”
“That would be fine. I had leave days and could take a long break since there weren’t many matters in the section. Since I had arrived on Tita Star, I hadn’t had a long break.” said Barry excitedly. To be able to work with the newest design team from the Milky Way Alliance had truly ignited Barry’s dreams.
